Sticks Well. I wish it was a little thicker. Used it to shop many items and they all arrived safely.,

5.0 out of 5 stars Duck Brand Standard Tape Gun: Does the job, but there are caveats...
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014
From a personal perspective, I've owned and/or used a number of tape guns and box sealers of varying types and prices over a number of years. Some have admittedly been dollar store thrash that barely lasted the first roll, to a high-end automatic commercial/industrial tape dispenser that I borrowed for a large moving job. But this time I was looking for a practical product to replace an old favorite.

Bought this Duck Brand Standard Tape Gun with Foam Handle here after using on that belonged to a local friend. It included one 54-yard roll of Duck Brand clear standard tape, but that's an issue that I'll address here later. This is a good product that met my expectations based on experience.

◆ Good Parts:

+ Sturdy construction; painted steel chassis
+ Foam covered handle; built for comfort in use
+ Red tension control knob; highly adjustable
+ Extra-sharp blade; cuts tapes to 2-inch wide easily
+ Can be used with longer 109-yard tapes; 54-yard is standard

◆ Not So Good:

- Standard 1.6 mil packing tape is way too thin

◆ In Use:

This Duck Brand Standard Tape Gun comes with a black plastic shield covering the blade. Be sure to remove this before you use it, and if you have kids around you want to keep it handy as that blase with its serrated teeth is very sharp. I taped the shield to the side of the tape gun to keep it handy.

Loading the tape is fairly easy, once you get the hang of it. Place the tape gun on it's side with the red tension control knob in the up position. Insert the roll of tape in the gun by sliding the cardboard core onto the large retaining wheel, and be sure that the tape is in position so that the free end is positioned in a counter-clockwise direction.

The tape feeds in between the roller and the metal bar that's located below the roller. Just be sure the tape is positioned so that the free end is positioned in a counterclockwise direction. Extend the tape up to the nose of the tape gun to a point just below the serrated cutting teeth are located. The tape tension can be easily adjusted with the red tension control knob.

A personal caveat: I found the standard 1.6 mil packaging tape that came with this gun to be far too flimsy for packaging use, even for storage purposes. Bought the Scotch Long Lasting Moving & Storage Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inches x 54.6 Yards here based on prior use. It's a medium-strength tape, suited for moving and storage, and at a thickness 2.4 mil, this US-made tape is just thick enough to work well and quite smoothly with this tape gun. Duck Brand also makes thicker tapes than the one that come with this tape gun should you prefer.

Note: I was originally looking for my old favorite, one similar to the Scotch Box Sealing Tape Dispenser H180, 2 in. This one had served me well for years until is was "borrowed" by a friend who was moving and forgot to return it. These things happen, but in terms of functionality and use, I've found this Duck Brand model to be its equal.

◆ Summary:

The Duck Brand Standard Tape Gun with Foam Handle has proven to be a good purchase, and it's been in use for a few months now. It's comfortable to use and offers a good range on its tension control knob. Caveat aside, the original tape that came with it ended up being used for some trash that was being discarded, so please bear in mind that my review is based on the tape gun itself, and solely that. Just get some decent quality tape that's thick to fit your needs and all should be fine. And note that the serrated teeth on the blade are very sharp, so it should only be used by adults with care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you adjust roll holder
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
Had to tighten the roll holder to get it to work properly. Otherwise the tape cut off at the roll, and you know what that means -- trying to get the tape off the roll with fingernails. LoL! Once you adjust this, it works fabulously like a normal shipping tape dispenser. I'd say it is a medium-weight, very sturdy. I can't see anything breaking off with this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yep - It's a standard tape gun
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2013
This is a pretty much run of the mill tape gun. Yeah, I read the other reviews where people complain that the tape gets stuck to the metal tab, but those reviews are from people who have apparently never used a tape gun before. The metal tab is there to catch and hold the tape so it doesn't reverse back and end up on the roll again. Just give the tape a good tug and it releases easily enough. My only complaint is that the included roll of tape is the flimsy, thin tape, but hey, I bought this for the tape gun - not the free included tape. Don't get me wrong, it's the standard issue clear packing tape - I just normally use the thicker crystal clear stuff.

This tape gun also has a tension adjustment knob on the tape spinner, which is a nice addition. This allows you to set a little tension which also helps keep the tape from reeling backwards as much as a tape gun that has no tension knob. Overall, it's a good purchase. I have never gone wrong with the Duck branded products.

Good value, good product, tape stays stuck. We seal boxes and mailers, I prefer the Duck products to Scotch brand.

Buy this for the gun and buy another choice for heavy duty tape. The incredibly thin tape that comes with this is one big giant sticky mess.

Tape is very thin and difficult to handle. Tears easily and doubles onto itself. Have to use multiple layers to be sure tape won't release or give way. I've been using tape gun with better grade tape for many years. No problems. Can not recommend this tape
